My dog with heart disease is coughing. Could it be his heart?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | 4 years and 10 months old | 65 lbs

My dog has been coughing for about an hour and a half. It stops mostly when he rests but starts again when he stands up. He does of supravalvular stenosis so I’m concerned it’s related?

I would be concerned as well that it's related to his heart. Keep a close eye on Lynyrd, and have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning. If the coughing gets worse or he has trouble breathing, take him into an ER vet right away.
